THE STEREO WARS ARE BACK! TECHNICS AMPS UP AN AUDIO ARSENAL! 

Hey Skylabs! Love your channel too.

@@mikecampbell5856 Actualy in Japanese they say "Tekunikusu" ... lol :D

Because we always have!

Always bow when saying honorable corp.😂or not lol

Teck-nicks is how it’s supposed to be pronounced

Well it’s a Japanese company. Owned by Panasonic. Technics themselves pronounce it with the long E, not the short I. It’s always been pronounced with the long E here in the US. In fact before seeing this video I’ve never heard it pronounced with the short I, that’s a UK thing. Someone above mentioned they used to say “Audio-Technica” but that can be confusing because that’s a different company, unrelated to Panasonic.

How about pizza, naive, machine, casino, Christina, Bolivia, Cincinnati? I’m sure you could come up with more that you actually use if you gave it some thought. On the flip side we have a county here in Ohio called Medina that the I is actually pronounced as a long I yet outsiders routinely mispronounce it Medeena. Modern English is a messy complex language that combines syllables, words and pronunciations from many other languages. Even in England you don’t speak it the way it was several centuries ago. In fact just like in America you sometimes mispronounce your own words. Like when starting a sentence w/ “Look” but it seems the K is dropped off. Cajun folks, a French descended group in Louisiana, USA speak such a strong dialect it can sound incoherent to the rest of us. Watch a Japanese commercial advertising Technics. They use the long E yet it seems they add a subtle vowel in the middle to make it a 3 syllable word. It’s just how they talk.

Must be true! Least we know what the real answer is now haha

Great feedback and it really does

Okay, now pronounce "Lieutenant", lol.

This is great! Love hearing from across the pond!

And we love the videos, keep em coming!

Nice Dan! My haters must still be sleeping haha

That's a good one.👍😁👍

How do you pronounce colonel? Many words are not spelled the way they are sound. The name Siobhan is another. I know you’re just being funny and I don’t get some of these spellings either; I’m merely pointing out that it is fairly common.

Well I have one in stock when you are ready! Do you still own the SA-700?

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard No, I sold it to get the Mcintosh. But I wish I hadn't, so I'm going to run a 2-channel setup in the living room. I'll get the SU-700 MKII and use my Node which has an HDMI ARC input, for streaming and TV audio along with my father's old Technics SL-D2 turntable. I have a pair of Mofi Sourcepoint 8 and KEF R3 Meta (Indigo Blue). One pair I'll use with my Mcintosh in my 2 channel room and the other with the Technics in the living room. I don't know which will go where

Truth! Thanks for sharing!

I did! 😉 and I'm somebody

I guess you got me.

Thanks for sharing!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just like the commercials pronounced it

🤣🤣

Isn’t that nice! Have you ever had one?

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard I bought a KA-9150 but FedEx dropped it and destroyed it. Such a waste of a beautiful piece. But I did find a perfect KA-9100 to replace it.

Dang what else is in that system!

Good input! Thanks for sharing!

- Probably not as much as hearing you try to pronounce "aluminium" 😂😂

Who says Nick-on?! Haha great stuff there

@@IncognitoChild I have no problem pronouncing aluminium or aluminum. The thing with that word is that both spellings are accepted. A great channel to watch showing our quirky differences is "Lost In The Pond". It's informative to see things from different peoples perspectives, and that fellow is hilarious.

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard I think almost everyone pronounces it that way except for the U.S. It's all about how it was marketed.

@@chrislj2890 Oh well, you failed to see the joke and only re-inforced the point : Technics is only spelt one way 🤣 - It simply highlights the subtle difference between American and English Language, spoken and written

Thanks Mike! Good answer haha

Nice! They last forever, thanks for sharing!

Yeah that’s exactly how it felt, same profile but more of everything

This is true and I confirmed it haha! Good info thanks for sharing!

Hahaha nice! Thanks for adding that one

Hahaha nice! Thanks for adding that one!

Well enjoy today’s video!

Oh sweet! Have you had it for a while?

​@ThatGuyWithTheBeard About 3 years I got it on Facebook market place for $125 still has the stacking spindle, they seem to be hard to find. Still looking for the 45 adapter.

🤣🤣🤣

Haha thanks man!

Whoaaaaaa Tech Nicks supporter #1! Thanks I was getting worried nobody was gonna choose that side! Hope you guys beat my side!

As was said, is Mechanics “Mechaneeeeks”? Only with particular accents 😂

Correct, absolute cockwomble pronunciation.

Exactly, it really is not difficult 🤷🏼‍♂️

Because it’s Japanese. That’s how they say it.

Probably because we've seen commercials from the 70s and 80s and they pronounced it the correct way. Teck-neeks I have never seen a Technics commercial pronounced Tech-nicks

@@erieeddie8683but they don’t

Unfortunately every Japanese A/V manufacturer (and pretty much everything & everyone else) turned to **** in the nineties 😂😭

@@IncognitoChild Yeah, I guess thats kinda true. I do remember seeing Sony ES gear in magazines and Pioneer Elite as a kid. Technics I literally though was Panasonic's budget brand they used because it wasn't good enough for the "Panasonic" name.

And I use BadAss Beard products… sometimes haha

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard Bad ass comment! Yes you use BadAss Beard products Lol! Great response Sir Lenny! Lol!

But is there….

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard If you spell it with a Q yeah, Techniqs ha ha

In my store

These are FACTS!

That Sony story is true and hilarious

Mic Drop!!!

No... MATSUSHITA!!!

Yes this is the Vlog channel. New Just Audio content coming back this weekend!

Vlog?

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah!!! How’s the weather down there?

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard these last few days have been very nice, about 74⁰F How about over there?

Steve Guttenberg pronounces the company name as "Technicks" as well, and he's "The Audiophiliac."

technick is a phone review channel though ;---)

I think the company themselves are the authority on correct pronunciation so your wrong except in the UK. Not every word is pronounced as it’s spelled. It’s a Japanese company owned by Panasonic. Watch a commercial from Japan. Seems like they say it w/ 3 syllables: “Tech-U-Neeks”, though that u is quicker and less pronounced.

@@bactaniteno he(Steve Gutenberg)doesn’t. He says it correctly. Watch his video on the turntable that made him accept direct drive after total devotion to belt drive.

​@@erieeddie8683it's not owned by Panasonic it's owned by Matsushita. And that is pronounced just like it is spelled. Not Mashusta

Thanks man!

You may like the produced channel better @justaudiohifi. This one is meant to be a vlog

Thanks though! Appreciate the comment!

Haha Good Point

Exactly!!

Love the fact i got some likes and replies. Because after doing a couple things i thought about a turn table. Audio-Technica. They don’t pronounce it audio techiquea. Lol i loved how you teased the pronunciation on the video it drove me nuts haha good stuff. Drove me nuts lol

@@ThatGuyWithTheBeard hey lenny so i have a pair of Arendal Thx monitors, and im stuck watching videos of new gear all the time from you, Cheap audio man, andrew robinson and etc. my problem is i dont know which route to go seperates or just get a av receiver and have everything in need in one box. If i get a high end receiver like marantz cunema line Vs a cambridge audio evo 150 will there be that much of a difference?

@@tylerflores4761 don’t get an AV receiver for music. I actually own an Evo 150 and love it for my tv, good for music too. I recommend calling the store, Tom can give you great options in whatever budget you are looking at.
